Every year, more than 100 children in Hennepin County are found to have high blood lead levels, high enough to damage their health. Lead exposure is particularly dangerous for young children and can lead to brain and nervous system damage, slowed growth and development, and learning and behavior problems.
But there's good news—lead poisoning is 100% preventable.
🏠 Hennepin County's Lead Control Program offers:
✅ Free lead testing for homes built before 1978
💰 Up to $15,000 in grants for eligible families to remove lead hazards
🛠️ Expert assistance from certified lead risk assessors
